Pot Limit Omaha High -Low 8-or-better ist schon eine spezielle Variante. Dann noch mit einem Buy-In von $10.000 und so war es eine doch deutlich kleinere Runde als bei den vielen NLH Massen Events der World Series of Poker (WSOP).
175 Spieler gingen bei der PLO8 Championship an den Start. Darunter natürlich viele namhafte Spieler wie Alex Foxen, Scott Clements, Jason Mercier, Dario Sammartino, Brian Hastings, Eli Elezra, Jennifer Tilly, Neo-Bracelet-Gewinner Anthony Zinno und auch Anton Morgenstern war mit von der Partie.
Zehn Levels standen am ersten Tag auf dem Programm und durch die vielen Splitpots ging es natürlich nicht so rasch zur Sache wie beim klassischen PLO. So waren auch noch 115 Spieler übrig, als nach den zehn Levels eingetütet wurde. Die Führung sicherte sich Randy Ohel mit 304.100 Chips, Alex Foxen und Scott Clements sind unter den Big Stacks. Anton Morgenstern kam sicher durch den Tag, mit 80.000 Chips hat auch er eine solide Ausgangsposition, wenn es in Tag 2 geht. Die Late Reg ist noch zum Start des Tages offen und damit gibt es auch noch keine Payouts. Bei den Blinds 1k/2k (Starting Stack 60.000) geht es weiter.
